"Life corrects the errors of logic." I especially love this one, Marty. As my children get older and I watch some of their perceived foolish decisions, I often say to myself that life has to happen to them. I know it did for me. It is a continual growth process, isn't it?

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the aphorisms!!! Too much on which to comment adequately. I am so impressed by your intelligence and wisdom. Although, I sense we are very different in some aspects, I feel kinship when reading some of your sayings.

"Life corrects the errors of logic." So true, but only, I believe, if you are willing/able to self-reflect.

Hi Marty,I wish you a very happy and successful New Year. As always there is great depth in your aphorisms. I particularly liked the Train, since that is the central image and dilemma of Life Cycles theory. Look forward to sharing with you in 2012,Neil

indeed all inspiring quotes especially this one "Being awake is no different than sleeping if all you do is dream" this is really true. by the way thank you for remembering me I appreciated it very much:-)
